@KuJoe

Our instance runs on @netcup's VPS 3000 ARM G11, i.e. a 12 core KVM VM on Neoverse-N1 #ARM64 server hardware.

We don't have a lot of users yet. However, when users with >1K followers moved to our server, the #sidekiq queue did grow (running the default install of Mastodon, no Docker).

So we used the opportunity to do the configuration tuning that had worked well when some of us scaled an AMD64-based Mastodon instance previously: create several sidekiq processes by copying and adapting a systemd service file – roughly as detailed by @leah here: https://leah.is/posts/scaling-the-mastodon/
This sped up sidekiq enormously – as it had done earlier on different hardware.

To sum up, we highly recommend ARM hardware for running Mastodon instances because it eats less energy and performs well enough.

🇫🇷 Pour l'instant, et en attendant de voir comment évolution l'adoption d'AP se poursuit sur #threads, je ne bloque pas la fédération avec threads.social sur mastodon.projetretro.io

🇬🇧 For now on and until the situation evolve regarding #threads adoption of AP, I won't prevent federation between threads. Socials and mastodon.projetretro.io

I tried to block another domain from federate on my instance to see how it works.

Must say it's very unsettling to tel myself: "I may silence thousands of voices in one click."

Ran into an issue - the full-text service on this Mastodon website crashed a little under a day after I deployed it, so full-text search simply stopped working.

ElasticSearch takes a lot of memory, close to 1.6GB, which is fine, I can spare that much. I logged in today to see if it had increased, and saw my RAM at half-capacity, which immediately caused alarm. Dunno why it crashed, too, the logs say nothing.

Okay, very important post, tagging #MastAdmin for views as well.

Mastodon users, you will see a delay in your website sending your posts to other servers if your local people use ntfy.sh to subscribe to notifications. I suggest you heavily discourage anyone who uses them.

Admins, if you see your sidekiq queues clogged up as above, try the following on your server.
1. Run Rails console:- `RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails c`
2. Execute the code here: `https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/26115#issuecomment-1646569279`

v4.1.5 Sidekiq freezes processing PushNotificationWorker · Issue #26115 · mastodon/mastodon

Steps to reproduce the problem Use ntfy.sh for push notifications causes Sidekiq to freeze before failing and continuing. Expected behaviour fast or non blocking time out Actual behaviour time out ...

Need some help from fellow mastodon admins - ever since the latest 4.1.5 update, all remote post timestamps have been broken on this instance. Anytime we fetch messages it shows as having been posted around 5-19 hours ago (and i think that gap is increasing slowly over the past three days.)

I've restarted all my processes but to no avail. Any tips? Is this a known bug? I can't see it as a logged issue in the mastodon repo.

In other https://combine.social news, more than 200 people have signed up now 🎉

This of course means that I’ve spun up yet another worker instance, and I’m even more incentivized to get that #rust port completed.
